I tried to just go on reading and research alone but now I think I need some input so I appreciate the help in advance!
So I currently have a 54" VT25 which sits about 10' from me but could be pushed to about 11'. I went in the store yesterday to again take a look at the 50 series. I prepared myself with bringing Inception & Rise of the Apes ( I forgot Dark Night at home) . I had the sales guy run simultaneously Rise of the Apes on a 60" GT50 and a 55" VT50 (the UT50 was in another room so I couldn't include it in the tests) . I proceeded to stand equal distance away after he turned the lights off so I could watch the exact same scene on both tv's which by the way each had it's OWN blueray copy of the movie running (The scene on the bridge as the Apes are making their way to the Park... just so you have an idea of what scene I was using for reference). The TV's looked SO close in picture on THX cinema that the only differences that seamed to be noticable were the 60" GT50 was a tad warmer and brighter as in the actual picture vs. the 55" VT50 was a tad darker and the tones of the fur on the Apes were a bit darker.
Inception I watched the scene right when Leo Decap. is in the mountains and he's looking through the window and see's his wife....and then you see the van falling into the water ( dont' want to fully explain as I wouldn't want to ruin a movie for someone that hasn't had the chance to see it ) I noticed watching the water/ice when they were crashing into the water seamed a tad grainy on the GT though not bad at all. The VT again gave a tad darker black on all the suits when the sleeping bodies were being moved about in the elevator.
I am trying to figure out is it worth it to go ahead and get a few more inchs of TV which I would like or is there something I'm missing that I should stick with getting the 55" VT50? I honestly wanted to get the 60" if I got either but I feel the 65" VT might be a bit overkill.
Excuse if I sound a bit jumbled. I'll blame it on not having morning coffee just yet
. My VT25 by no means is a slouch but I feel this year is worth upgrading it and maybe getting a little more size also. But I defiantly want to upgrade and have a better picture opposed to just buying it to say I have the latest model. Thank you for any input.
